About the dish

Matka kulfi is a traditional frozen dessert that's much denser and creamier than your standard ice cream. It's usually prepared with a combination of full fat milk, malai cream, almonds, saffron, pistachios, cashews, and sugar. In order to make matka mulfi, milk and cream are boiled while stirring, and after a short while, the sugar, chopped almonds, cashews, and pistachios are added to the mix, which is boiled until the milk thickens. Once cooled, the mixture is poured into cups and frozen. Before serving, matka kulfi is garnished with nuts for a nicer visual presentation.
